My betta has fin rot. I've never dealt with a sick fish or a sudden death of one from poor care. My friend told me he probably got infected because I wasn't using aquarium salt, which I plan to start doing. This is virtually my first time taking care of a fish like him and I'm trying to do the best that I can! He's currently my only fish and my first ever tropical fish. I'm about to start treating him with Mardel Maracyn II and I've heard about hospital tanks?
Is it neccessary to move him to another tank to put him under quarentine or can I just leave him in his normal one? Also, what should I do to prep it? What should be in my Hospital Tank? Can I still use salt and feed him normally while treating him with meds? I don't have a filter which I didn't feel was neccessary because it's one little fish in a 1.5 gal tank. Should I get one? I change about half of his water every week and do a full water change every other week.
Thank you all in advance for the tips ^-^d
